As a point of clarification, I spoke with Joel Esler at Sourcefire and
he said he would ensure the web team keeps the snort-current URL scheme
around and functioning, as it has been for some time now.
Alternatively, he mentioned FreeBSD's use of the Sourceforge site for
downloads. Perhaps using SF for net/snort and net/daq while keeping the
snort.org site as a backup would be desirable. (For reference, NetBSD is
only using the snort.org URL scheme.)
Everything works as committed now (and will for the foreseeable future),
but if you'd like to use SF instead as a primary, the attached diff
works perfectly against currently-committed code.
